A welcoming creative club for young people Year 4 - Year 6 to explore printmaking at their own pace, through playful experimentation and hands-on making.
Students will learn different printing techniques, try out ideas, build skills, and develop confidence working with print. Sessions will combine demonstrations with plenty of time for curiosity and independent making.
When: Mondays 3:30pm - 4:45pm
Dates: Starts Monday 14th September - Monday 14th December (No sessions during half term 26th October / 2nd November)
Group size: Max 12 students (small group for individual support)
Cost: £120 for all 12 sessions (includes all materials and a folder to keep work in)
We’ll explore a range of printmaking processes, including:
Monoprinting
Collagraph
Tetrapak printmaking
We will work with professional materials, portable printing presses, and hand-printing techniques.
Each session begins with a demonstration and ideas to explore, then opens into longer making time where young people can follow their own interests, experiment, and develop their own work.
There is no pressure to produce finished work, the focus is on process, exploration, and enjoyment.
All materials provided
Professional inks, papers, and printmaking tools
Use of portable printing presses
Hand-printing materials and equipment
A personal folder for each participant to keep all their work
To create a friendly, low-pressure space where young people can:
Build confidence in creative decision-making
Learn new printmaking skills
Explore ideas independently and with support
Develop personal creative expression
Enjoy a calm, hands-on studio experience
Emma Bond is a London-based illustrator and botanical printmaker whose practice explores pattern, texture, and observation of the natural world.
Emma and her family have lived in Walthamstow for 13 years, and she has two children (aged 6 and 12) who are part of the local community. She is particularly interested in creating creative spaces for young people that feel welcoming, unpressured, and led by their own pace and interests. Printmaking offers a tactile, exciting way to explore ideas through making.
Alongside this, Emma runs workshops in schools, galleries, and community settings, and spent four years working as a secondary school art technician. She exhibits and sells her prints and licenses her work, and holds an up-to-date DBS certificate and Paediatric First Aid.

If something unexpected happens, please get in touch, I will always try to be flexible where possible
If your young person has any access needs, sensitivities, or would benefit from adjustments, please do get in touch in advance, I’m very happy to talk things through and make a plan together.
